Canada: Mining blamed after an ecological disaster ---- August 4, Canada has experienced 
what is already called the greatest environmental disaster in the region. A dike settling 
a wealth of gold and copper broke, spilling millions of gallons of polluted water into the 
basement, killing wildlife, flora and contaminating water of people living in the region. 
Given the scale of the disaster, the benefits of the mine are struggling to spend with the 
locals. ---- bastamag.net ---- Squat: one that shows and those who live ---- In September, 
at Perpignan, photographer Jorge Silva presented his work on the tower of David, 
skyscrapers of Caracas abandoned after the 2007 crisis, became the largest squat in the 
world with 28 residential floors. Deconstructing the upper floors to rebuild a city on the 
floors below, the people now form a community that makes decisions together through 
meetings and is organized to make this building a place to live and work. This squat is 
currently being evacuated, a Chinese bank that bought the tower is now trying to dislodge 
the legitimate occupants.

Football: megalomania invites in France

France will host the Euro Cup in 2016 and also starts construction of new speakers. Lille, 
Nice, Bordeaux and Lyon, with all stages of a good size, have earned the right to go into 
debt to host some games in two years. This is not without some resistance, like Lyon or 
Bordeaux, struggling to convince their projects. The expropriated farmers must make room 
for those big useless projects. At the slightest resistance, the police intervene to 
protect concrete workers who do not hesitate to start work before rendering judgments. 
Political collusion, exceeded budgets and limited usefulness. The people and inhabitants 
have understood the issues and that are now offering these games are not enough to calm 
them down.
